What to donate to Goodwill

Thank you for supporting Goodwill. Your donations of new and gently used items support our mission of changing lives through education, training and employment. We ask that all donated items be in working order and good, clean condition (Goodwill cannot repair or refurbish donated items).

2. We ask donors to please avoid donating recalled items that have been deemed unsafe by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Our three-tier assessment system ensures these items do not get sold. View a list of recalled items here.

3. Donation attendants must decline donations that cannot be sold because of quality concerns or because they have been recalled.

What's your donation worth?

Follow these easy steps each time you donate to assure you have a complete record of all the items you have donated to Goodwill come tax time. Based on IRS regulations, it’s up to donors to document the value of their donations.

If you recently made a donation, visit My Goodwill Donation and sign up to start tracking and assigning a value to all your donations. Come tax time, all the donations you made throughout the year will be in one convenient place for easy access and printing.

Accepting items that cannot be sold in our stores creates an added cost for Goodwill and hinders our ability to fund our mission of changing lives through education, training and employment. We ask that all donated items be in working order and in good, clean condition since Goodwill cannot repair or refurbish donated items.
